السَّمَآءُ ↓ ادجنت signifies the sky rained continually: (S, K:) [or دَجَنَتِ السَّحَابُ and ↓ ادجنت may mean the clouds covered the sky, or the regions of the sky, or the earth: for] ↓ الدَّجْنُ [is app. the inf. n. of the former verb, and] signifies the clouds' covering (S, M, K) the sky, (S,) or the regions of the sky, (M, K,) or the earth. (K.) b3: دَجَنَ بِالمَكَانِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. دَجُنَ, (Msb,) inf. n. دُجُونٌ (S, Msb, K) and دَجْنٌ, (Msb,) (tropical:) He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place; (S, Msb, K, TA;) kept to it, or became accustomed to it: (TA:) and so ↓ ادجن. (S, Msb.) b4: And hence, (TA,) دَجَنَ said of the pigeon, and the sheep or goat, &c., (K, TA,) as, for instance, the camel, (TA,) (tropical:) It kept to the house or tent.

(TA.) [Golius assigns to داجن another signification of داهن; namely “ He held in contempt;” as on the authority of the KL; in my copy of which it is not mentioned; nor can I find it elsewhere.]4 أَدْجَنَ see 1, in six places. b2: ادجن also signifies It (a day) became one of much rain; and so ↓ اِدْجَوْجَنَ: (K:) or the latter has a more intensive meaning, i. e. it became cloudy with mist or vapour, and dark [with rain]; and [simply] it became dark, or obscure. (TA. [See also 1, first sentence.]) b3: And ادجنو They entered into [or upon a time of] much rain. (AAF, K.) 12 اِدْجَوْجَنَ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(TA.) b2: Also Much, or abundant, rain: (AZ, S, Msb, K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَدْجَانٌ and [of mult.] دُجُونٌ and دُجُنٌ and دِجَانٌ. (K.) You say يَوْمُ دَجْنٍ and يَوْمٌ دَجْنٌ and ↓ يَوْمُ دُجُنَّةٍ and يَوْمٌ دُجُنَّةٌ [app. meaning, accord. to the K, A day of much, or abundant, rain; but it seems to be indicated in the S that the meaning is a day of clouds covering the whole sky, full of moisture, and dark, but containing no rain]: and in like manner one says of the night [app. لَيلَةُ دَجْنٍ and لَيْلَةٌ دَجْنٌ as well as ↓ لَيْلَةٌ دُجُنَّةٍ and لَيْلَةٌ دُجُنَّةٌ]: using the latter word both as the complement of a prefixed noun and as an epithet.

[or rather coll. gen. n.] is ↓ دُجْنٌ; but in the S it is said that its pl. is دُجَنٌ, i. e. like صُرَدٌ, and دُجُنَاتٌ and دُجَنَاتٌ: (TA: [but in one copy of the S, I find دُجْنٌ and دُجْنَاتٌ; and in another, دُجَنٌ and دُجُنَاتٌ:]) and ↓ دُجُنٌّ is syn. with ↓ دَجْنٌ [q. v.]: (K, TA: [in the CK, الدُّجُنُ is erroneously put for الدُّجُنُّ; and الدَّجْنُ, which should immediately follow it, is omitted:]) the pl. of دُجُنَّةٌ is دُجُنَّاتٌ. (TA.) b2: دُجُنَّةٌ also signifies The clouds' covering the earth, and being heaped; one upon another, and thick. (K, * TA.) b3: See also دَجْنٌ, in two places: and see دُجْنَةٌ.

(AZ, S, K. [Freytag has written the word, as on the authority of the K, دَجْنَة.]) And سَحَابَةٌ دَاجِنَةٌ (S, Msb) and ↓ مُدْجِنَةٌ (S) A cloud raining (S, Msb) much, or continually. (S.

(TA) أَدْجَنُ A camel (S) of the colour termed دُجْنَةٌ: fem. دَجْنَآءُ. (S, K.) مُدْجِنَةٌ: see دَاجِنٌ.
